Are you in the mood for a summer escape! The Summer Cottage by Viola Shipman was so much fun! The writing flows, & who doesnât dream of owning a summer cottage at the lake!? I remember growing up and taking the family vacation to Minnesota every summer, we always spent part of that vacation at a summer cabin on one of the nearby lakes! Such awesome memories for me! I really loved this story, whatâs better than summer, reading & the lake? . Summary from the publisher: Adie Lou Krugerâs ex never understood her affection for what her parents called their Cozy Cottage, the charming, ramshackle summer homeâcomplete with its own set of rules for relaxingâthat sheâs inherited on Lake Michigan. But despite the fact sheâs facing a broken marriage and empty nest, and middle age is looming in the distance, memories of happy childhoods on the beach give her reason for hope. Sheâs determined not to let her husbandâs affair with a grad student reduce her to a clicheĚ, or to waste one more minute in a career she doesnât love, so it becomes clear what Adie Lou must do: rebuild her life and restore her cottage shingle by shingle, on her terms. But converting the beloved, weather-beaten structure into a bed-and-breakfast isnât quite the efficient home-reno experience sheâs seen on TV. Pushback from Saugatuckâs contentious preservation society, costly surprises and demanding guests were ânotâ part of the plan. But as the cottage comes back to life, Adie Lou does, too, finding support in unexpected places and a new love story on the horizon. One cottage rule at a time, Adie Lou reclaims her own strength, history and joy by rediscovering the magic in every sunset and sandcastle. .
